JWL thanks WW for his philosophy ['The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Founded upon their History', 2 vols., 1840] but prefers the History which is 'more to my taste' ['The History of the Inductive Sciences']. JWL is disappointed that WW attached so little importance to attempts to bring the moon, the planets and other satellites 'under one system because though I could not expect you to dive into the details of the calculations, namely it is an advance in the philosophy of any subject when divers phenomena before treated by separate and independent considerations are included in one course of symbolical reasoning'.
